Blue Tosca lands Sultan Gold Vase

IPOH:  July 24, 2011

BLUE TOSCA completed a big race double in the space of 15 days when he triumphed in the RM400,000 Sultan Gold Vase here today.

Whereas he had to share honours when he dead-heated with EAGLE in the Sprint Trophy (1400m) in Penang on July 10, the Australian five-year-old finished half a length ahead of BINTANG TERANG this time.

The running of the 1100m sprint over the straight course, traditionally held in November together with the Coronation Cup, was brought forward to mid-year this season so as to have a better spread of the big races in Malaysia.

It worked perfectly well for BLUE TOSCA who has shown tremendous improvement in the past couple of months. He was bought by trainer Stephen Cook for just A$20,000 at the Ready To Run sale and has now earned more than RM770,000 from eight wins in 23 starts.
